UNLV Selects TeamDynamix to Manage IT Projects

COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - March 3, 2009) - TeamDynamix, the leading provider of Web-based project and portfolio management solutions for the higher education market, today announced that the Office of Information Technology (OIT) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has selected TeamDynamix as its PPM solution. Following a successful pilot, a gradual group-by-group roll-out is anticipated. The department will use TeamDynamix' Web-based solution to plan IT projects, create timelines, monitor progress, and provide senior management with an easy-to-use, visual status of current projects and resources.

The TeamDynamix solution will enable UNLV's IT leadership to capture important data across units by providing a central location for managing all IT projects. With TeamDynamix' portfolio planning tool, UNLV's OIT can manage project requests, prioritize and score all potential projects, and streamline the project startup and staffing process by managing resources and launching projects directly through the Web. TeamDynamix Project Dashboards provide OIT's leadership with a clear picture of what people are working on, as well as any bottlenecks, while providing team members with a comprehensive display of daily responsibilities and current issues.

"TeamDynamix understands the higher education market, and we decided to deploy the company's solution because it met the unique needs of our environment," said Wonda Yuhasz, WebCT Coordinator for UNLV. "Prior to TeamDynamix, we did not have consolidated portfolio management processes so members of our team used a variety of tools to manage their workload, from spreadsheets to project management solutions such as MS Project or SharePoint. I anticipate TeamDynamix will allow us to consolidate our team under a single PPM system to manage all of our IT needs and resources. We will be able to pull detailed reports and provide our leadership with the information they need to make strategic decisions."

TeamDynamix provides UNLV with an easy-to-implement, web-managed approach to project and portfolio management. The solution integrates processes and metrics recommended by EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research and is specifically engineered for the consensus- and committee-intensive higher education environment. TeamDynamix is helping a growing number of higher education institutions to increase their organizational efficiencies, maximize resources, facilitate team collaboration, and cultivate individual responsibility and productivity.

"Higher education operates differently then corporations, and as a result, has different IT drivers, needs and challenges," said Andrew Graf, lead analyst for TeamDynamix. "Over the last several years, we have worked closely with higher education IT leaders and PMO directors to develop a tailored solution that is easy to use and effectively and conveniently communicates to all levels of users the relevant information they need to do their jobs. We appreciate UNLV's trust in TeamDynamix and look forward to working closely with the OIT as it continues to roll out TeamDynamix to its IT departments, computer services groups and help desks."
